OSAAT DT CARD - CHALLENGE NO 212 - USE A DIGI

Good afternoon to you all and thank you so much for the lovely comments on my last card, I'm so glad you liked it. I am just posting my DT card for the OSAAT Challenge No 212, the theme is 'Use a digi'. This digi was chosen by my teamie Jennie and is by Alipeeps on the Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet site (here).

Must admit, I had a teeny weeny panic when I saw this one - simply because it was just head and neck!!! You know I am not good at colouring hair and I really worried, however I think the detail around my colouring takes the eye away from my bad bits - lol!!! I made two very small slits in her shoulder area and then threaded some black tulle through to form a 'scarf' effect. I threaded a small jump ring onto the tulle and added a tiny red heart just underneath.Ingredients7" x 7" White Card Blank - Anna Marie DesignsDigi - 'Miss Peony' by Ali Peeps at Stitchy Bear Digi OutletBasal Blush Pink Card - Create and CraftLe Tres Chic 12" x 12" stack - DCWVOval Pierced Stax dies - Die-Namics DiesFern Trio dies - Creative Expressions DiesFlexmarkersLace, tulle and gems - own stashFlowers - WOCI hope you like this one, I would love it if you entered Challenge no 212 over on OSAAT, all you need to do is make a card using a digi stamp. If you use a digi from our Outlet you could win 7 digis that the team used in challenge no 210. There is still a prize if you use a digi from another company so think on!!!Thought I would let you know about the decorating versus Blossom saga - you might remember that the little madam had been 'vertical scratching' the walls on the staircase at night and would not stop downstairs when we went to bed, although she was getting better ...... until Graham started decorating the dining room that is. I was worried about the smell from the paint getting on her chest (aaaaahhh) so I/we agreed to leave the door open - for her safety mainly. Oh, just before the decorating started in the dining room, I had ordered two of those plug in room smelly things 'cos I thought they might help, fortunately they arrived that morning.I plugged them in and hoped for the best. ..... well, touch wood, the scratching has stopped, she seems to like the wallpaper and colours we have chosen and I cannot thank Feliway enough for working their magic (albeit magic to the value of forty bloomin' quid!!!!!) ..... even if we have to put up with her walking around as if she has had a large dose of CAT VALIUM, has a goofy grin on her chops and has just put down a large spliff!!! Oh and when she miaows she's a bit like a cross between Ozzie Osbourne and Mick Jagger talking. She is sooooo laid back and I can now turn the smellies off during the day and put them on at night, so I think the £40 was well spent.That's enough of Blossom's Blog for the time being - she's on the garden at the moment with her husband - probably telling him about her 'experiences' with the big pink elephant she saw on the landing! I really must get a new dressing gown!!!!! I was going to say 'get Graham' and then I thought about it - ROFL!!!Lots of big hugs to you all, enjoy your Sunday afternoon and I hope you are all well - or getting there!

Love how you have done this image Sue, your post has me in stitches here, you are so naughty - are you sure that the said spliff doesn't affect humans. I am sat here listening to Queen which I think suits your card. Flora xx

Looks a great deal like a Spanish senorita. Nice. The coloring of faces and hair is not always easy but you did and good job of it. Very nice surrounding embellishments and I think there they highlight, not distract from, the image. The roses are a nice finishing touch.

LMAOOO Blossom having a spliff!!! your a nutter Mrs P!!! but soooooooooo funny cheered me up so much and I can't wait soon be the 28th cos I'm going to Scarborough!!!!!!!!!!!!! fab card by the way she is looking Tres Fabuuuulousss...see you soon lots of huggles from me and Victor Meldrew!! and Olliebobs lol xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sue your card is gorgeous, love how you did the scarf. Feliway was my daughters saving grace when she was introducing the new kitten to her two older cats, and yes they were like blossom - very laid back, she also thought the £40 was worth it. And the kitten was excepted with not one problem. Hazel xx

Well, it was a bit of a challenge this one, Sue. I love what you've created with Miss Peony, she definitely looks very exotic. A lovely idea giving her the pretty scarf and lovely extra too on your card. Hugs, Jennie, your OSAAT teamie. xxxx

I see nothing wrong with the hair Sue - you are being too hard on yourself. Love the whole look of this one very chic! Love that scarf with her pretty little heart. I have visions of your cat walking around stoned now lol! Have a lovely day hun Karen x

About Me

I have been crafting since I was very small and started making my dolls clothes when I was 8. I have been married to my hubby for almost 49 years and even made my wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses. I still have the pattern - and the dress. We have had cats all our married life but we lost Ebony in January 2012 and Misty in February 2012. A huge feral cat used to own us but sadly, he died in August 2012. He was such a character for a feral cat and, even though we couldn't touch him, we knew he sort of liked us! We decided we wouldn't take on any more pets but in March 2013 a female cat and her 'husband' started living in the garden and despite being ignored they wouldn't leave so ... in short.... they both adopted us and they have now been neutered and chipped and once again we have fur babies! In 2015 an abandoned long haired puss adopted us and he's gorgeous! I will never know how they knew we would take them in - perhaps it's the large tattoo on our foreheads saying 'MUG'!! We wouldn't swap them for the world though.
